Arthroscopic Rotator Cuff Repair With Double-Bundle Suture Tape Augmentation for Large and Massive Tears (07/25)

February 2, 2026

Abstract: Advancements in arthroscopic techniques have improved the management of large and massive rotator cuff tears, but the failure rate remains high. Nonabsorbable high-strength suture tape is widely used in anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction and lateral ankle ligament repair to enhance the biomechanical strength of graft and ligament, thereby helping to reduce the risk of…

BONEZONE Spotlights Breakthrough InternalBrace Research in Young Athletes

October 3, 2025

A recent article in BONEZONE (September 23, 2025) has highlighted the growing body of research supporting the InternalBrace technique in reducing reinjury rates for young athletes in pivoting sports such as football, rugby, basketball and netball. With ACL tears among high school athletes increasing by more than 25% over the past 15 years, and re-tear…

“MCL Repair, Isolated Suture-tape Bracing and No Repair for Grade III MCL Tears During ACL Reconstruction Have Similar Outcome for Combined ACL With MCL Injury: A Randomized Controlled Trial.” Sep 24

October 8, 2024

Abstract: Purpose: Aim of the study was to compare various MCL management strategies(repair vs isolated suture-tape bracing vs no repair) combined with ACL reconstruction and analyse results of MCL sub-types (femoral/mid-substance/tibial-sided tears) occurring at distinct levels. Read paper online

Biomechanical Evaluation of Suture Tape Internal Brace Reinforcement of Soft Tissue Allografts for ACL Reconstruction Using a Porcine Model (May 2022)

June 2, 2022

Abstract: Background: Internal bracing of anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) surgery is a newer concept gaining popularity. Purpose/hypothesis: To assess the biomechanical performance of soft tissue ACL reconstruction allografts reinforced with suture tape. It was hypothesized that load to failure would increase and cyclic displacement would decrease at time zero in the constructs reinforced with internal…
